SYNOPSIS

The story follows a group of young adults that find themselves going toe-to-toe with the infamous Jason Voorhees (Derek Mears) at a cabin near Camp Crystal Lake.

Searching for his missing sister, Clay heads up to the eerie woods of legendary Crystal Lake, where he stumbles on the creaky remains of rotting old cabins that lie in wait behind moss-covered trees. And that’s not the only thing hiding under the brush. Against the advice of police and cautions from the locals, Clay pursues what few leads he has, with the help of a young woman he meets among a group of college kids up for an all-thrills weekend. But they are about to find much more than they bargained for. Little do they know, they’ve entered the domain of one of the most terrifying specters in American film history-the infamous killer who haunts Crystal Lake, armed with a razor-sharp machete… Jason Voorhees.

Lotsa Near-Carnage in the New ‘Friday the 13th’ Trailer

The first teaser trailer looked promising enough, and the mildly (un)pleasant surprises continue with the brand-new full trailer for Marcus Nispel’s Friday the 13th remake. Opening on February (Friday) 13th, this re-do jimmies with the original trilogy and aims to tread at least a little new ground in the story department. Instead of a bunch of clueless counselors who are preparing a camp for the upcoming summer, this new-fangled version will focus on a guy who’s missing for his missing sister, only to come across a bunch of (soon-to-be-dead) partiers while searching around ol’ Camp Crystal Lake.

Hey, it’s not like the original flick was densely plotted, ok?

So the purist in me wants to sneer derisively and the 14-year-old horror nerd in me wants to say “Woohoo, bring it on!” — so let’s just call it a draw and keep our fingers crossed for the next few months. Plus, detest me if you will, but I happen to quite like Nispel’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. So there. As far as the trailer goes, I think they give away a few too many of the jolts, but then again, most people won’t watch this trailer four times in fifteen minutes. Like I did. Read more …
